The Dean of Bilbao, Aner Uriarte, has denied that there is a "concerted" idea against the Euskera in the administration of justice.

During his first visit to the Festival as Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales was excited by the reception of the Basque diaspora in Idaho, where he claimed the role of the festival as a bridge between culture, the economy and institutions, and highlighted the agreements reached in key areas such as energy, technology and higher education.

A decade later, the great Basque festival in Boise has once again become the home of emotion, music and roots.

The partnership agreement has been signed between the Etxepare Basque Institute and NABO (North American Basque Organizations). Pradales has stated that "this agreement is more than a pedagogical commitment, it is a strategic step towards the internationalization of the Basque Country".

President Imanol Pradales wants to mobilize diaspora as a key diplomatic element for the Basque Country to "gain influence" internationally.

Convened by the Council of Basque Culture, representatives of different parties and sensitivities will meet at 11 a.m. at the gates of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country in order to respond jointly to the Supreme Court's latest ruling on the Basque language.

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.

"Knowing that there are no technical arguments that can prevent this, I begin to wonder if there are no political reasons behind it, but sooner or later, without any doubt, we will overcome them," the Foreign Minister said in an interview on Radio Euskadi.

The Vice-President and Councillor for Culture and Linguistic Policy, Ibone Bengoetxea, has stressed that the Basque language is a living language, of Basque citizens and part of the European heritage, and has recalled that Europe cannot be built by denying its plurality, and has reiterated the Government's determination to continue working in all areas in order to achieve the official status of the Basque language in Europe, and has thanked all the institutions involved.

The President of the Commonwealth of Basque Municipalities (UEMA), Martin Aramendi, has stressed that the Basque Country needs "justice" and that what has come from the Supreme Court "is not justice, but a sentence condemning the Basque Country to the second level. "" That is why we have considered all the options and are prepared to defend the Basque municipal law in its rightful place, even in the European courts, if the legal services see the possibility of doing so. "

The President has sent a letter to Salvador Illa stressing that, at the end of four decades of the process, the time has come to make official the co-official languages of the Spanish State in the European institutions. "Forty years later, the time has come to complete this process," he stressed.

According to spokeswoman Maria Ubarretxena, what worries the Basque Government most is "to start judicializing political decisions", especially in the field of the Basque Country. It also seems to her that the "social pact" that existed between the various political parties with regard to the Basque Country has been "broken". 

One day after the Supreme Court confirmed the annulment of several articles of the decree of the Basque municipal law, the spokeswoman for the Basque Government and adviser for Governance, Digital Administration and Self-Government, Maria Ubarretxena, has expressed her concern. "What worries us is that political decisions should begin to be prosecuted."
